TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, MORTIMER BIRDSILL MILLS, of the village of East Mendon, in the county of Monroe, and State of New York, have invented a new and nseful churn called the Triangle Churn and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the some, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view, and

Figure 2 transverse sections. I

The body of the above-named churn is of a triangle shape, to the sides of which are attached the legs FFFF, fig. 1; the top of the angle ohlong'with three mortises or holes, the larger one of which is for the admission of the cream and removal of the butter, and the two, G G, for'the rods E E toplay in. The rods E E are attached at one end to the double-acting lever C C, and are made to work-on .slnall pins or wrists running through the said lever and into the holes in the top ends of the rods. In the centre of the levers C G is a mortise which admits the head or top of the post D on which it works. The lower ends of the rods E E are attached to small wooden wristsG G in the dashers D and E, fig. 2. The dasliers D and E have at each end 'small holes F F and I I, of which the two, I I, are attached to wooden pins or wrists B B, driven invthe side A,

fig. 2, and the other two, F F, on wooden journals Bf B, fig. 1, the pins of which admit of the removal of the dashers from the churn. The dashers are made of hard-wood shafts M M, fig. 2, into each of which are mortised thin strips H H, which are perforated with holes, and also short thickpieces of hickory, into which the wrists G G are fastened. M, fig. 1, is a plug, the removal of which will allow the escape of the buttermilk.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLe'tters Patent, is-- The dashers D E, fig. 2, when made so as to be actuated by the levers C C, fig. 1, and connections E E,

when arranged within the box A, as and for the purpose set forth.

MORTIMER BIRDSILL MILLS.
